A LOVERS LAMENT.

Where glows a rose so fair,
With tinted hue so rare
AS on thy cheeky
What profile-stern, divine
Can ever equal thine,
So purely Greek?
What lily barred its breast
To give at thy request
A brow so fair?
Whence came these raven locks,
Whose silken softness mockS
The balmy air?
Who taught those swimming eyes
To utter loving lies
To hearts that burn?
Where learned that form to fade
And loving arms evade
Of those who yearn?
Whence caught thy ruby lips
Those dulcet, silver trips
Ger pebbles pearl? -
Where lives upon the earth.
Unwilling Cupid's birth,
So fair a girl?
look upon tiny face,
But its Medusa grace
Turns heart to stone!
love, but know not why;
Yet must till l die,
And love alone!

''Her own enemy, even to the last, ,"
thought the judge, looking at Desiree LIE
Strange's beautiful dead face with shadow
Oh his own.
For the features which had not struck
him yesterday in life spoke plainly enough
in death-told him patheticaly, better than
thousand words, that this was the Desiree
he had once loved-the girl who had almost
broken his heart by the old stone bridge,
He had been very busy all these years
so busy that the memory of the wears
pretty daughter had gradually grown faint
and dim. Yet looking at the dead face
now. SO lovely and placid in its last sleep, a
mist slowly gathered in his eyes-for he had
loved her once with all his heart and soul
and he was grieyed to the depth of his
being that her days should have ended thus.

Cranforth Grange was a many-gabled
granlte-blocked mansion. standing on
slightly wooded eminence in Il richly TIM
bered, undulatng park. The avenue which
led up from the main road was a good mile
long and shaded by tall beech trees meeting
in an arch overhead. and winding through
the grounds, now flashing in the sunlight,
now hiding amidst the shadows of the
dropping silver willows, flowed the beauti-
full Pinkthorne river, bordered with plumy
ferns and tangled briers, with here and
there ciunp of brilliant rhododendrons.
The wild ducks loved their river, and the
swans seemed never weary of sailing on its
surface; yellow water lilies fioated like
miniature islands here and there, and the
prettiest rustic bridges SPAWNED it in parts
where the waters where tolerably narrow.
At the far end. under the thickest shades
of the willows. nestled an old boat-house.

1t was gala day for the whole village
day of rejoicing-when Judge Vessels
came home to Cranforth Grange. The bells
rang merrily. the banners waved to and fro
welcome, Welcome" in the soft spring
breeze, and now the carriage dashed up the
| long beech avenue, and presently, in q
| twinkling it seemed, the children were
springing into their fathers arms and
smothering him with kisses
Kindly. generously, the years had dealt
with Daniel Vessels; perfectly happy, too,
| he looked to-day with the arms of his fair
haired twins twned about his neck and his
left hand resting Oh his wife's shoulder.
Desiree, i'll the background, watched the
joyous meeting between husband and wife,
| father and children, and felt sudden
| choky sensation rise in her thu at, an odd,
sharp. sickenlng pain seize her heart, al
most taking her breath away, and prayed
that She might not faint-that she might
not make scene"
Miss LIE Strange, our governess," said
Lady Vessels, presently.
And then-oh, how like dream it
seemed, meeting the bearded face and shak-
| the large, firm hand of Sir Daniel Vessels
A minute more, and the Judge with his
wife and children, was in the library,
where CHEEKY log-fire blazed and Desiree
found herself mounting the wide oak stair
case to her solitary school-room. But for
her own folly, she told herself, she might
have been queen of this house to-day How
unbearable the thought was-how madden
ing.
For whole year she had striven to do
her duty, and had learned to love pretty,
gentle Lady Vessels, his wife; but she
could not meet the Judge daily and not be-
tray herself-not let him and others see
how accurately she felt her position. True,
he had not appeared to recognize her; but
sooner or later he would assuredly discover
that Desiree LIE Strange, who flung back
his love one autumn eve years ago, and the
Desiree LIE Strange of to-day were the
same. Chance had brought her here under
his roof. Surprising by chance she died to-
night, who would miss her9
And then, mechanically almost like one
forced to act in spite of herself, she crossed
the room and unlocked the little medicine
chest which stood on sideboard Her eve
ran over the bottles and boxes and china
pots.
